How to Record Virtual Tracks on the Boss BR-8
The Boss BR-8 is a multitrack recorder that allows you to record not only eight separate tracks, but also a number of virtual tracks, known as "V-Tracks." These V-Tracks can be used for recording multiple takes of tracks like guitar solos, so that you can choose the best version that you want to include in the final project recording. If you are new to using the BR-8's virtual tracks feature, don't worry. With the right instruction, you can record to them in less than a minute.
